I bought this card to use in an MP3 player/speaker that I own, and it works just fine for that. But ... when I opened it up and put it into the adapter and plugged it in to my Mac, I tried to place my music on it and couldn't. Checking info showed it was set to "Read Only." It wasn't a matter of the moveable tab on the adapter - it wasn't set in the locked position, and just to be sure it wasn't the adapter I tried another microSD card in it and that one worked fine. So, it was something with the original factory settings and I couldn't adjust it that way. A bit of searching on the internet led me to some people who suggested that some microSD cards can't be read except by digital devices. So what I ended up doing was plugging it into a camcorder I have, that uses microSD, and reformatting it from there. That worked fine, and after that I could plug it into the Adapter and plug it into my Mac and load music on it just fine. It's not a bad workaround, but kind of a pain that I had to figure it out that way. I can imagine I'd be really frustrated if I didn't own a device that could format it independently. I don't understand why it doesn't come formatted as read/write capable from the get go. Every other microSD card I've owned has worked fine right out of the package.

Buying genuine microSD cards has become an absurd challenge and risk due to the abundant counterfeit microSDcards flooding the market. I have a small box full of worthless pseudo-microSD cards that I bought on eBay.Even the ones that are advertised as major brands and are in the packaging of major brands can be worthlesscounterfeits. The result is that a buyer has to run FLASH tests on every microSD card before accepting thepurchase and placing the microSD card in service.

Please note that you need to run the flash test multiple times because one of the failure modes of thecounterfeit cards is to finish the test on the first pass, usually with recoverable errors, but then to failmassively on subsequent tests.

Well I have to admit that read quite a few of these review before purchasing two of these Kingston 16GB Micro SD cards with SD Adapter. For the low price I paid for two cards, I went ahead and purchased these cards.

They arrived in the actual Kingston Retail package with the SD Adapter and these cards are a class four, which is not the fastest. However, I am very pleased with the cards because I copied quite a lot of pictures, home videos and more to the cards and in my opinion they did not seem that slow at all. Since I did not time the speed, I just let the paste process begin and kept on with my computer typing, web browsing etc. Before I knew it, these files were copied to the SD cards. Inserted them into some older (backup) phones (that I also use as very rugged music players) and so far, so good. Every file has read, every tune played and every photo and home movie is perfect stored on the cards. So for me, I am happy with this purchase.

Keep in mind what the other reviewer wrote about safely removing the Android phone's old SD card before inserting a new one, this is so true. Also I find for me that if I simply turn off the phone and remove the old card and then replace the new one, the phone reads the new one fine.

I bought the card with the hope to use it as a dual use type of device. Where, I will run the RaspberryPi and if needed will transport it on my android device.

In terms of storage and compatibility, the card performed as expected. It booted Raspbian and I could also take pictures with my phone. GREAT. However, after exactly 6 times, where the micro SD was removed to be placed on the phone and back into the adapter for the Pi. The card was not being read at all, and I made sure not to jam the micro card or place it incorrectly. Therein, I eliminate any operation error.

After careful inspection I found out that the SDadapter had slightly shifted open. Which is caused by the use CHEAP plastic and bad tolerances. With this shift, the adapter pins could not make proper contact with the microSD card and therefore it didn't worked.

Now, I am using a competitor brand adapter and the microSD card still works well. Although I live in constant fear of a sudden malfunction and loose of all my data, specially the one originated from the RaspberryPi.

Not sure if I got a defective SD card or not but after I take pictures I try to display them on the phone, sometimes the app locks up. Found out it is the SD card cuz I placed the SD card in my PC and I have a hard time reading the files. It took me over 8 hours to move the pictures to my desktop. I had several lockups of Windows explorer. After I retrieved most of the files I reformatted the SD card and will try it again in my phone. I was able to move the pix from PC to card without issue after the format. Maybe I fill up the card using the PC to ensure the card is ok before I trust it to store my phone pictures. I've used Kingston memory chips in the past without issue but this one is flaky.

Never had a DOA product from Kingston before, but this one was dead dead dead. Tried it with my Mac, tried it with three different readers with two versions of Windows, tried it in a Unix-based image capture system. If it cost more than ten bucks, I might go to the trouble of the return process. I am confident that Kingston would exchange it for me, but it will cost me less to buy another one online or run into a local store at lunch time.

I bet that if I bought another one it would work just fine, but this one was a disappointment.

UPDATE: I did eventually get it to work, but only with my Mac. I needed to buy a new (updated) SD card reader. Windows XP would not work with the newer style reader. I suspect that all would be well with Windows 7
